Magnum. Useful in all situations. Taking down Banshees, one-shotting hunters, headshotting grunts, killing flood at longer ranges, and moderately effective against elites without the noob combo.
Don’t like not having one during TnR , would gladly trade in the sniper for it.

My sentiments exactly. I sometimes use the AR for the spray feel if I want to shake things up a bit, but the magnum is my main go-to weapon for most situations.

Magnum hands down. It is my go to on Halo CE.
Probably the frag grenade. I love the destruction that it causes, especially when using it with the Boom skull activated.
I think I am going with the Shotgun. Oh also I love to run over the Covenant with the Warthog. Not sure if that counts, but whatever…

Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol.
While not being as powerful as the Magnum, got to give both weapons credit since they’re the only rendition of the weapon that stuns enemies in place making it a lot easier for a melee kill. Makes it useful against elites on harder difficulties especially if you don’t have a headshot capable with you.

Magnum is the one true weapon of choice for CE. Right from the beginning of the campaign it’s your primary weapon and the AR is the side arm. It’s design is beefy and sleek, plus a bad -Yoink!- melee animation.
I really liked the Needler, it was a really unique weapon & I really like how the Rounds stuck out the back, plus including the Reload & Melee Animations

I think the Assault rifle in the Halo games is such a unique design, and easily recognisable. First introduced in Halo CE.

My favourite Weapon is the Magnum. It was so good that it came back as a power weapon in Halo 5: Guardians.
the magnum is fun and op, but my favorite weapon to use in ce is definitely the flamethrower
Halo 1 Plasma Rifle looks, sounds and feels great
The look of the plasma bolts as they fly, the glowing scorching decal they leave on impact that slowly fades away, the stun, I just like it a lot.
Needler also very high up there, unique, fun looking and sounding, and Halo 1 had the chain explosions that could virtually go on forever, even for corpses, which was hilariously chaotic.
Halo has such good particle effects, muzzleflashes, hit impact effects, smokes, debris, blood spurts, casings etc flying around that even just the Assault Rifle, lacking in the stat department, just feels good to fire - especially when coupled with the great pain state animations of enemies flinching, faltering, reeling back in pain, it’s hard to feel like a weapon is bad even when it’s not great.

The Shotgun has a lot of effective range in Halo CE plus its reload speed is fast so it feels powerful and efficient. The Plasma rifle too is very fun due to its stun lock and its effective range and tight spread. Also my favourite meta precision weapon is the CE magnum and the NO Bloom DMR from Reach (MLGv7 settings)
My favorite is the magnum because its genuinely a useful weapon throughout the game. Plus it has the scope!!! I am also really fond of the melee animation. Its one of my favorites!
Not the Magnum that’s for sure. That thing is too OP.
